right now im putting together a turbo motor and i was wondering what is the MAX hp a set of forged crower rods can take? looking to make big power and im not sure how high i can go w/ the rods.

 

I've made 630, but have seen over 800.

 

They can handle more than you will make.

 

most forged rods can take more than you can make, theres only so much room for improvement, mainly rod bolt size.

 

keep in mind, most rod failure is not caused by weak rods, but poor tuning and detonation.

 

It is mostly the rpm that kills the rods... What the limit is I don´t know.. I am wourried abot mine.. I have 84.5mm pistons and revs 10500 on a b16 and was making about 550 crank HP Im still on the dyno so ai Think I can squize i bit more out of ot

 

i was told that they could only take up to 600hp but i didnt know so i was just making sure. i am lookoing to make around 600 so i didnt want to max out the rods.

 

I agree with Sweed I have read alot of posts about the rods failing due to how high they are revved and the rods stretching because of it. I think they can hold over 600 but I dont have any personal experience yet .I am awaiting my build with crower billets as we speak.
